I am so happy to have found Lori! At first I was skeptical of video therapy but it has worked out great. She has been able to help me through some really difficult times and she really cares.

Great sessions with Lori. Love that she breaks down the science of the experiences I’m having while explaining how to deal with my issues with myself first and then others.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Attentive listener and great experience
I have had several therapists and Lori has been the best. She took me from a place of brokenness to a place of holding my standards, boundaries and thriving. Thank you for this beautiful journey
Lori is exactly what I needed at this complex time in my life. Her support, insight and strength has been invaluable during this time where I’m extremely raw and vulnerable.
She understand she understands lows and highs and the importance of self care and self love
From the very first time we spoke, I knew that I was matched with the correct person for my unique situation and trauma. I am so thankful to have the support and help I need to learn how to process my mental health and learn how to better myself for my future.
Lori is wise, compassionate, professional, and one of the best therapists I’ve ever had. I feel that I am making significant progress during my time with her.
